"La Canadienne has a very strong reputation for well-made, comfortable, yet stylish looking shoes (they make more than just boots), but they tend to be pricey. These were the most affordable ones I could find online. I was needing a pair of winter boots that were affordable but are also waterproof after having moved to NY. These are awesome. They even have temperpedic material so you can walk on these for hours in comfort and plus they are waterproof and very warm -- and they are also pretty!The calves tend to be narrow -- if you tend to have larger calves, you may need to go 1/2 to 1 size larger. Highly recommend."

"I have really skinny calves and look like I'm swimming in most boots, but these are not knee high, they hit mid-calf and looked SO CUTE! They are also so comfortable that I didn't even have to break them in and really high quality. One of my best shoe purchases, ever, hands down.Word of warning: shaft might be too tight for most calves & also beacuse of the wool on the inside I would order 1/2 size up (which I never do, but was super glad I did) or they may be too tight/narrow."
